Okay this may sound a bit like a math problem, but help me out here:

The Space-Wolf Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf (that's a lot of wolf!)

4 attacks base.

charging (so: shock assault, +1 attack).

Equipped with a lighting claw and a chainsword. So that's two extra attacks, I think.

The chainsword is replaced for the "teeth of terra" chainsword, which instead grants 3 extra attacks (so +2 more).

Is that 9 attacks?

Plus the 3 crushing teeth and claws attacks, making 12 total, of which 3 are the teeth and claws, one is the lightning claw, eight are the teeth of terra chainsword.

Is my math right or am I messing something up? I feel like I'm messing something up.

Strictly speaking its 5 any and 3 teeth of terra 1 lightning claw and 3 teeth and claws

Teeth of terrra is often the better choice but in some circumstances e.g. hitting guardsmen, SoB or skittari the lightning claw is better

Vs 1W T3 infantry its 22% more effective

your math is right, but just to re-iterate what the others said:

you have 12 attacks total, that is correct. 3 of those MUST be teeth and claw attacks, one MUST be a lightning claw, and 3 MUST be teeth of terra. the remaining 5 attacks can be with ANY of those weapon options as you choose, depending on what you think will be the best against the current target (ie, higher str to wound, or higher AP to deal with heavier armour, or re-rolling wounds against a high toughness target, etc)

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

Any weapon but the teeth and claw that is. Only allowed to make 3 attacks with those.

If you wanted to get really crazy you could make him your warlord and use the warrior of legend Stratagem to give him the Imperium's Sword Warlord trait and Saga of the Wolfkin for 13-15 attacks total.
